Chapter 40 Third Elder, is this your junior uncle?
Chu Huaixu looked at Yu Youning's weak appearance and said with a smile, "Youning, are you hungry?"
Yu Youning sat up straight in an instant, "Yes, yes!"
"Then let's go into the palace now! The palace has prepared delicious food, and we can eat as soon as we get there!"
"Really?" Yu Youning's eyes lit up, "Then hurry up and go!"
She is so hungry now that she could eat a cow!
Seeing Yu Youning about to leave, Huo Qingchen hurriedly called out to her, "Youning, do you want to enter the palace?"
"Yes! The prince invited me to his house!"
Huo Qingchen was shocked when he heard this.
Going to the prince's house to play?
Growing up, he never knew that the palace could become the prince's home.
But if you think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with saying this.
When Huo Qingchen thought about being scolded by his brother again after returning home, his eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind.
"Youning, can you take me with you?"
"It's to the prince's house, not mine. You should ask the prince!"
Huo Qingchen thought about it and looked at Chu Huaixu eagerly, "Your Highness, can you take me into the palace with you?"
Chu Huaixu looked at Huo Qingchen who was staring at him eagerly, then looked at Yu Youning who looked indifferent, and finally nodded, "Then let's go together."
If the little girl had a better relationship with Huo Qingchen, the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion would have fewer concerns.
After the three of them left the Imperial College, they got on Chu Huaixu's carriage and headed straight for the palace.
Although the carriage was moving at a fast pace, it still took time to enter the palace.
Chu Huaixu was worried that Yu Youning was starving, so he opened the drawer on the small table and said, "Youning, I asked someone to prepare some pastries. Eat some to fill your stomach first."
Yu Youning was originally leaning on the chair, his eyes dull with hunger.
When he heard Chu Huaixu say there was food, he came over immediately, his eyes bright and lively.
The snow-white pastry is very soft and glutinous, and your mouth is filled with sweetness when you take a bite.
Yu Youning ate with a smile on her face.
Huo Qingchen looked at Yu Youning like this and laughed, "Youning, you're still so young, why are you such a big eater?"
Yu Youning didn't care at all, and ate while shaking his head, looking very cute. "My mother said that being able to eat is a blessing!"
Chu Huaixu nodded in agreement, "Well said."
Seeing that the two of them were actually on the same front, Huo Qingchen snorted and turned his head to the side.
But after a while, Huo Qingchen came over again, "Is it really that delicious? I want to try it too!"
After saying that, without waiting for Yu Youning to say anything, he took a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
Yu Youning's cheeks were bulging from eating, and his eyes widened and became round when he saw this.
"You just despised me for being able to eat it, why are you snatching it from me now?"
"I'm doing this for your own good, so you don't eat too much and get too fat!"
After all, Huo Qingchen is three years older than Yu Youning, his arms and legs are longer, and his movements are more agile.
As he spoke, he took another piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing that he couldn't snatch it from him, Yu Youning simply lay down on the table to protect it, "These are all Youning's! These are all given to Youning by the prince!"
Chu Huaixu looked at the two people fighting over a few pieces of cake and laughed out loud.
He has many brothers and sisters, and they have been fighting over gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins since childhood.
But they are all children of the royal family and have been taught various rules and etiquette since childhood, and they will not show them openly.
They usually appear friendly on the surface, but kill people behind the scenes.
A situation like the one between Yu Youning and Huo Qingchen where they loudly argued and started fighting had never happened before.
But when looking at this scene, Chu Huaixu only felt warm and not noisy.
"Stop arguing. I'll prepare more next time." Chu Huaixu said gently.
Huo Qingchen and Yu Youning paused for a moment after hearing this, but soon started arguing again.
Next time is next time, this time I have to eat it first!
When Yu Youning finished the last piece of cake, they arrived at the palace.
After getting off the carriage and walking towards the palace gate, Yu Youning looked at the tall city walls and exclaimed, "What a high wall!"
Chu Huaixu also looked up and sighed in his heart.
A very high wall indeed.
I don’t know how many people have been trapped by these high palace walls for their entire lives.
When he looked down again, he saw that Yu Youning and Huo Qingchen, who were walking beside him, were gone.
Chu Huaixu hurriedly looked forward and saw Yu Youning running forward quickly with his short legs, while Huo Qingchen was desperately chasing after him.
Seeing this, Chu Huaixu didn't have time to sigh and hurriedly quickened his pace to catch up.
With Chu Huaixu by their side, naturally no one would stop them, and they went straight to the Queen's Fengyi Palace.
The Queen had heard Yu Youning's name from Chu Huaixu for several days in a row and was very curious about Yu Youning.
Knowing that Chu Huaixu would bring Yu Youning into the palace today, he asked his subordinates to prepare early.
Snacks, fruits and meals are all available.
Just when I was thinking of asking the palace maids to go and welcome her, I heard the little girl's clear laughter as loud as a silver bell.
The laughter was getting closer and closer, obviously coming towards the main hall.
The Queen was delighted when she heard the voice, "Is he coming?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a little girl in a red skirt ran in.
She was as delicate as a piece of jade, with big, twinkling eyes that were brighter than her finest gems.
Especially the bright smile on that fair and tender little face makes people feel friendly and gentle unconsciously.
"This must be Youning! What a lovely little girl."
Yu Youning looked up at the queen and felt that she was beautiful and gentle, and she was well-dressed.
She walked forward a few steps, came before the Queen, and greeted her politely, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Youning."
Upon hearing this, the palace attendant beside him hurriedly said, "You must address her as Empress, and don't be rude."
The Queen waved her hand and said, "Don't be so rigid. I like her to call me Auntie. It makes me look a lot younger."
"Your Majesty is young." The palace maid complimented, smiled and stepped aside without saying anything else.
Chu Huaixu and Huo Qingchen also walked in at this time. They both bowed to the queen. Their manners were elegant and their bearing was extraordinary. They were obviously noblemen who had been carefully brought up.
Yu Youning watched the two people's actions, thought for a moment, and then imitated them and saluted the queen.
The Queen watched her learn so well and smiled even more broadly, "Youning is really smart. She learned it after just one look."
Such a smart little girl doesn't know etiquette. You can tell at a glance that the Yong'an Marquis Mansion didn't teach her.
The people have been brought back, but they are not being taught properly. The Yong'an Marquis Mansion is becoming more and more disgraceful.
The queen was thinking all this in her mind, but she didn't show it on her face. She asked the palace maids to help the three people wash their hands, and then she prepared to take them to dinner.
But at this moment the emperor arrived, followed by the three elders.
As soon as he entered, the emperor looked at Yu Youning and said to the third elder beside him with a smile, "Third elder, is this your junior uncle?"
